title: Nutrition screening tool development and utilization for home care patients.
abstract: Caring for individuals with nutritional problems is a part of nursing practice. Nurses often struggle with how to categorize nutrition-related maladies. Signature Home Care (now a subsidiary of Integrated Health Services) modified an existing tool to assist nurses in their assessment of nutrition status. This article describes the process of adapting the Nutrition Screening Initiative and implementing the screening tool.
